Cancer Support

We call them, Stop, Drop and Rolls. And we call an Urgent Care clinic, Doc in the Box. But then, as a nurse, gallows humor is my bread and butter. In the lounge of the ER where I worked many years ago, we had mimeograph (I've just dated myself, for sure) that had, as it's title: Suicide: How To Do It Right. I've probably just betrayed a white wall of silence, but whatever.

I guess I should introduce myself. Hi, I'm T. and my husband has cancer. I'm not here as the smart ass nurse, but as the scared smart ass wife. I'm pretty sure things are about to get deadly serious in my house, so I have to get the jokes out now, while I can still breathe and write.

As they say on Game of Thrones, Winter is coming.

I just looked at the date on your post. Have you had your surgery already, then. If so, I hope it was a resounding success.
